texasmama Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Also, a kid is currently emailing a local friend to ask if she can go live with her "because she is nice and because a sibling yells at me too much". Rock on. I'm leaving soon to go buy underwear. Edited May 21, 2016 by texasmama 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 So. . . who would steal cremains and then get rid of the urn by hiding it amongst the sidewalk sale stuff at a craft store? And what do you do with an empty funeral urn? Sell it on E-bay? I thought urns were expensive. Sell it. I'm sorry your aunt's missing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I am still at the hospital with the elderly lady I help because they had an emergency and didn't have enough staff. So we went to eat and came back. They are supposed to have more people come in at 3. Also I had to bring twins with me because dh failed to follow through with previous plans. I am so aggravated. The lady I help does NOT get along with children well. I am completely frazzled. :grouphug: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I call it The Case of the Abandoned Urn. I tracked down which family member had the urn last. They said that last they saw it was in a box in the car and they think it must have been stolen out of there. Who keeps ashes in an urn in the trunk? Anyway. . . . I'm going to go pick it up since no one else wants to do anything and I think it is rude and disrespectful to do nothing when complete strangers took the time and trouble to id the urn and to track us down. I'm a bit fed up with family, including dh, right at the moment. Well since the urn is now empty it is ready to be recycled to hold the ashes of all the putz family members. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 We just got a package in the mail from my mom. It's a birthday present for John that he won't like. It's a clock, which is what he asked for, but it's memorabilia(?) for a college that he doesn't care about, but she likes. It's not even the right kind of clock. We haven't spoken in 9 days. I don't know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 This sounds like a police matter! I tried to be Nancy Drew and solve it myself but I think it will remain a mystery. I have my suspicions that seriously daft BIL (who had it last in his possession) might have done something with it. But it is not worth it to me to ask him about it. (Last Christmas he threw out all the kids' Christmas gifts before they could open them. Seriously daft.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped eating mayo a lot when I moved away from MA and could no longer buy Cains. Seriously, we used to refer to it as Cains. As in, "Mom! We're almost out of Cains!"
